PARIS (Feb. 25)

Le Temps reported today from Rome that Premier Mussolini had given an audience to Preiozi, Italian anti-Semitic leader and editor in Italy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, discredited account of a purported Jewish plot for world domination.

Simultaneously, Rome newspapers published articles urging anti-Semitic legislation, the report said. Signor Cianetti, president of the Italian Labor Confederation is now in Germany being entertained by Julius Streicher, German flagbearer of anti-Semitism, it was stated.

“Do these facts foreshadow the debut of an anti-Semitic movement in politics?” Le Temps asked.
